James Carville sleeps with a Republican
James Carville of all people wants your help. The old Democratic attack dog has just sent out an e-mail blast for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee seeking, of course, money but also something else -- a catchy bumper sticker slogan for the 2008 congressional campaign.
"When I look at 2008," Carville says in his usual subtle way, "I'm telling you that Democrats have almost everything we need to send another wave of Republican Senators out to pasture. They've got 22 incumbents [up for reelection]. We've got 12. We're going to get top-shelf whip smart candidates. They've got a bunch of drones."
The committee already has some ideas: "2006 was just the beginning More Dems in 08," "No Republicans Left Behind in DC," "What have Republicans done for you lately?"
Carville promises the winner will adorn tons of campaign literature next year and vows to even plant one sticker on the forehead of "that wayward GOP supporter" in his life, his wife, Republican strategist and former White House staffer Mary Matalin.
You can vote on the committee's bumper sticker ideas or write your own.

The Evolution of the Republican Presidential Contenders
."When the Truth came knocking"
The moderator says to the assembled Republican Presidential contenders, "This is an open question for the candidates."
Evolution theory holds that man is a direct genetic descendant of hairy, arm swinging, tree climbing African apes who apparently survived despite having only crude rudimentary mental processing skills. The scientific process of carbon dating confirms the dates for such evolution and shows that man in this sense predates the Bible's time line by hundreds of thousands of years at a bare minimum. What is your opinion on the validity of carbon dating?
Romney: People will say there was a time that I embraced carbon dating but in my maturing process I have opened my eyes to how destructive liberal ideation can be to man's ascent. Junk science should not be employed to accelerate the decline of our moral virtues.
McCain: I am a firm believer that the age of the earth is a matter of state's rights.
Thompson: The media's obsession with my wife's youth has reached a new low. They're saying that she is in effect 'carbon dating' which I find offensive.
Brownie and Huckee (in unison): "Attacks on religious values are a staple of our opposition. Brothers and sisters, let us pray for God's hand to smite the ballot boxes of the heathen."
Giuliani: "Believing in evolution is weakness in the face of the enemy. It allows terrorist scum and their democratic party appeasers amongst us to encircle our homes and maim our children. Science in pursuit of planetary wide war is to be exalted but to use it to appease Islamofascist aggression is treason. I will only appoint judges that know the ramifications of using science in pursuit of weak kneed terrorist lovers.
